A Rare Fly-Fishing Paradise on the Upper West Branch of the Delaware
Welcome to one of the most coveted stretches of wild trout water in the Northeast — 1234 Airport Road in Deposit, NY, nestled directly on the legendary Gentlemen’s Pool. This property offers 300 feet of private riverfront on the Upper West Branch of the Delaware, a river revered by anglers worldwide for its wild brown and rainbow trout, cold, consistent flows, and exceptional dry fly hatches all season long.
Situated in the Special Regulations Section, you’ll be immersed in one of the most productive and protected fisheries on the entire system. From March through October, the river comes alive with Blue-Winged Olives, Sulphurs, March Browns, Caddis, and Iso hatches — a dry fly angler’s dream. Whether casting to rising fish in the glassy tailouts of Gentlemen’s Pool or drifting nymphs through the riffles above and below (always stacked with fish), this stretch delivers.
Launch access is just a mile in either direction, giving you unparalleled flexibility whether floating long technical drifts or heading out for an evening spinner fall. And with an acre of land, you have the space to craft the ultimate fly-fishing basecamp, from rod rooms and gear storage to casting lawns and riverside fire pits.
For the discerning angler, this isn’t just a home — it’s a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to own a piece of the finest trout water in the East.
